What could possibly make a more eye-catching and cute couple costume than dressing up as the beautiful Princess Buttercup and the dashing hero Westley, the Dread Pirate Roberts, from The Princess Bride.

Dread Pirate Roberts and Buttercup Costumes for Halloween and Cosplay

This is one couple that pretty much everyone aspires to be. Buttercup and Westley costumes are available although it can work out less expensive and also look better to put your own outfit together using a mix of clothes that you already have and a few accessories.

⭐ Dressing as Westley, The Dread Pirate Hero

Rodents of Unusual Size? I Don't Think They Exist! Love this take on a Westley Costume.

Most men opt to dress up as Westley in his black Dread Pirate gear. I mean, it's pretty obvious that most guys would rather look like a dashing and suave masked hero than a simple farm boy.

There are some ready made costumes for men to wear which can transform them into this fantasy hero. However, I prefer the option of putting together your own outfit using black clothes and some essential accessories like the eye mask and head wrap.

I've given you a complete checklist of items that you need on that page as well as a very detailed run though of every single clothing accessory so you can get as convincing as you want to with your outfit.

I dressed as this character myself and, although I did a female version, you can see exactly how I put together most of what I needed with clothes I already had. There were only a few items I needed to buy in order to get the right look.

If you are dressing as a Buttercup and Westley couple for Halloween or cosplay, I suggest going with a red dress or a light blue one. You can either opt to buy a ready made dress for this purpose or choose something very similar.

A third choice is to dress up in her elaborate wedding dress outfit, not forgetting the detailed crown style tiara that she wears. The wedding dress is in an even paler shade of blue and very intricate to look at.

Be the Cutest Couple by Wearing Princess Bride Costumes

There are loads of fun couple costume ideas but I don't think you'll find it easy to top The Princess Bride. It's such a cool, retro movie and one that any serious fantasy fan will have seen, more than once I might add.

For any truly in love couple, these are the ideal choice of outfits to wear for Halloween, cosplay and dressing up parties. That's because even death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while! Have fun.
